UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Reportedly on Cusp of Resignation Amidst Growing Pressure

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is reportedly preparing to resign and set out a timetable for his departure, according to reports citing The Observer newspaper. This comes after months of building pressure, which intensified following rival Andy Burnham's victory in a recent parliamentary by-election, enabling a formal leadership challenge. While some reports suggest 72 Labour MPs expect Starmer's departure and that several ministers have resigned following local election defeats, a government source indicated Starmer remains focused on governing. Starmer is expected to make a clear statement regarding his position on Monday.
